Enabling the FDA We Want and Defending the FDA We Have

Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has a seemingly conflicting mission. On one hand, the agency acts as a national regulator, ensuring that medical products including drugs and medical devices are “more effective, safer, and more affordable.” On the other hand, the FDA has played a significant role in “helping to speed innovation” through the increased adoption of flexibility in its regulatory standards for approval. Recent controversial approvals have raised questions around this tension, and the FDA is currently facing several judicial challenges seeking to undermine its administrative authority and ability to carry out regulatory decisions based on clinical and scientific expertise. This talk will discuss the opposing circumstances that the FDA faces and what can be done to protect and strengthen the FDA’s role as a national regulator in protecting public health.Sponsored by: Psychology Program.

Hegeman 107 In the talk we investigate so-called enantiomorphs, objects whose mirror image is intrinsically different. We start with the analyses provided by the philosopher Kant, culminating in his eventual vindication of a Newtonian idea of space. We then trace the phenomenon of enantiomorphy though the history of geometry in the nineteenth century, constructing a model of the aforementioned fancy fair attraction with paper and tape, and we find out how the phenomenon sheds light on the development of Einstein's relativity theories. Zooming out, we see that the puzzle of enantiomorphs crisply illustrates a philosophical insight that has arguably had huge significance beyond the philosophy of physics, all the way into the economic theory and political philosophy of Marx.Sponsored by: Philosophy Program; Physics Program.

Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium Majoring (or interested) in math or physics but unsure about whether grad school is right for you?
The Distinguished Visiting Professorship of Mathematics and Physics is sponsoring a panel discussion, Q&A, and networking event with recent alums, admissions administrators, and faculty. We’ll talk about what MA and PhD programs are out there, what they are like, and how to optimize the rest of your time spent at Bard. Open to all Bard students, especially those moderated in mathematics or physics.Sponsored by: The Distinguished Visiting Professorship of Mathematics and Physics.
